Description

This extension allows an application to source the number of draw calls for indirect draw calls from a buffer. This enables applications to generate arbitrary amounts of draw commands and execute them without host intervention.

Promotion to VK_KHR_draw_indirect_count

All functionality in this extension is included in VK_KHR_draw_indirect_count, with the suffix changed to KHR. The original type, enum and command names are still available as aliases of the core functionality.

New Commands

• cmdDrawIndexedIndirectCountAMD

• cmdDrawIndirectCountAMD

New Enum Constants

• AMD_DRAW_INDIRECT_COUNT_EXTENSION_NAME

• AMD_DRAW_INDIRECT_COUNT_SPEC_VERSION
